Reid, Ryan, and Smith should all keep their jobs. With those guys, you're much more likely to downgrade than you are to upgrade, IMO.

That said, I'm sure they'll all be unemployed by the time the ball drops.

There really is no logical reason to keep Ryan. He's built nothing in 4 years, and his team is an absolute disaster right now. All you'll do by keeping him around is encourage a coach to make more desperate moves to keep his job right the time when the team needs a vision for the future.

I agree with this. Now it's unfair to lump everything on top of Ryan for the Jets' failure, the GM and owner need to be widely criticised too, but he can't simply be immune to criticism. Ryan is a great defensive coach and motivator. However, he is a poor evaluator, especially offensively, and his team lacks discipline (not Lions' ill-discipline but not too far away).

If Ryan is kept it has to be under the proviso that a strong GM comes in and is the decision maker. He must also bring a good offensive guy with him. Take the personnel decisions off Rex and let him coach up the defense and motivate the team. That he would be good at, but as a HC with full responsibilities I believe he is out of his depth.

He's been given absolutely nothing at the QB position by his GM. If the new guy acquires anything close to an adequate QB, he could have success, like when he made 2 straight conference championships with Mark ************* Sanchez.

I'm sure RR had plenty of input into the selection of Sanchez. Taking Sanchez out of the equation, what has he really built during his time there? In what ways is the team better than it was in the last year of the Mangini era today with 4 years of Ryan influence? If Cro, Wilkerson, and Kerley is all you have to show for 4 years of drafting, development, and free agency then you have a serious problem.

100% agreed here. Mr. T had great drafts when Mangini was coach and then terrible drafts when Ryan has been coach. Can't just be a coincidence.

However, I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction. I will immediately begin the search for the next head coach of the Chiefs. The entire football operation will remain under review, and there may be additional changes to come. No final determination has been made at this point on the future of General Manager Scott Pioli.

HE will begin the search for the next HC, HE is still reviewing the football operation side, and HE was the one who spoke about the firing of RAC. Pioli is anything but safe. Clark just needs to do the right thing here.
